Are there any teams out there that intend to play the Millennium Series next year that are looking for players? As you can tell by the user name I am a female but as a few of you have already pointed out we can play just as well as you guys
Need Players?
- Thread starter girliep8ntballer
- Start date
have you played much tournament stuff before, what sort of level team you looking for, novice, amature or pro, have you contacted the storm birds.
I have been playing tournaments for the past 3 years and I was hoping to play the millennium this year with an Am/nearly Pro team but it looks as if things may fall through.
I know alot of guys encourage girls to play p8ntball but it’s very hard to get recognition as a good player, I think a girl has to be twice as good!
Do you know if the Storm Birds are playing millennium series?

I'll ask them for you, but I am pretty sure they are, so what teams have you played for, are you going upto the diablo northern cup this sunday in Elsham, it would be a great chance for you to find a team, there are quite a few teams looking for players at the moment
sorry but that is bull**** that they have to b twice as good. Doesnt it make sense that as there is fewer females in the sport that there skills are noticed more easily? And wen a woman turns up 2 a tourney and kicks ass (i know it doesnt happen very often but lets pretend) it is noramally noticed by every1 at the tourney
Just to put my 2 pennies worth into the argument, women at paintball let alone playing is not the 'norm'. Most of the time when we men paintballers see a woman playing we just point and tell our friends. Most sports as a whole are almost gender specific, it is not the norm to see womens rugby or mens netball. Even in 'mixed' sex sports such as hockey men and women rarely compete on the same, even playing field. With our beloved sport of paintball we have a sport which can be played evenly and without predjudice by men and women (and all those in between (Mr Toye j/k)). I know in the past the whole idea of rental paintball has perhaps not interested women as much as men, but this is changing. More women than ever are playing paintball for the first time (just ask your local site operator), this is down to how paintball is perceived by the general public. With the advent of X-Fire and Operation Paintball people are now viewing our sport as another extreme and exciting sport, with more female rental customers the tournement scene is going to see the knock on effect of this as well.
The time has come to stop pointing fingers and whispering to your mates that there is a woman paintballer on the field. Paintball has a chance of becoming on of the only true non gender specific sports, we managed to lose the 'weekend warriors' tag so surely even this is possible. Those of you who know me are probably saying that I am only doing this because mt girlfriend plays paintball, this is not the case if anything I would prefer she didnt play at least I would get my kit back! Seriously though I have seen this first hand and if you are honest with yourself so have you. When you have actualy seen a woman playing paintball, how often have you seen her opposing team walk of the field taunting one of their players that they had been "shot out by a girl". I am sure everybody would be keen for the other 50% of the population to see this sport as non sexist and even game that can be played and enjoyed by both sexes.
